Looking back on last week’s Ameripolitan Music Awards in Memphis can make you dizzy, with the clamor of one hot band after another, and fans and performers alike dressed to the nines. By way of announcing this year’s winners, we present a whole slew of postcard moments snapped by inimitable Amurica photographer Jamie Harmon. And it’s clear that the “-politan” in the festival’s name means it’s a universe where folks with one eye on the past can still throw some unexpected curve balls into the future.
And now…
